Wormwood

Wormwood by Catherine Czerkawska retells the hard-hitting story of the Chernobyl disaster through the experiences of one family: two scientists that work at the plant; a fireman and his schoolteacher wife, and their young song.

Scientist, Natalia is forced to relive the lasting tragedy of that warm April night in Ukraine, the horror of her situation and the inevitability that lay at the heart of it.

This honesty piece of theatre explores the before and after effects of a meltdown and entreats it’s audience not to believe that ‘the unthinkable can’t possibly happen’.
